I want to sell my company. Where do I start?

Selling a company is more than a simple "sale" act; it is a procedure that involves complex phenomena based on financial and legal review.

To begin the sale, it is important to lay the foundation through internal company organization and expert consultation.

First, you need to organize the company's financial status, equity structure, legal disputes, and intellectual property holdings.

In this process, identifying and organizing internal risks in advance becomes an important foundation for future negotiations.

It is also very important to select experts such as attorneys, accounting firms, or law firms who can find buyers and assist with negotiations and practical matters.

Preparing the company sale stages with these experts will allow the procedure to proceed more smoothly.

Afterwards, the buyer will thoroughly review the company.

Comprehensive due diligence will be conducted including finance, legal, tax, and personnel, and the final acquisition terms will be confirmed and a contract will be concluded.

The methods of selling a company include equity sale, asset sale, and management rights sale.

To choose the sale method that suits your situation and the company's circumstances, it is very important to receive assistance from experts with abundant M&A experience.

If you are preparing to sell your company, we recommend that you proceed with strategy formulation and legal review in parallel as soon as possible.
